I have just heard about the release date of gTLD's being in June this year - in a nutshell a generic top level domain is a .com, .net etc. The release will allow registration of a variety of categories of domains - e.g brands, countries and generic. The most valuable being .usa, .xxx, .videos, the mind boggles at the options open to entrepreneurs and I see that many will see this in a similar vein to gold and oil rushes in the past.
I am only starting to read about it so will report more in the future, here are a few facts:
- The evaluation fee is estimated at US$185,000. with a $5000 deposit.
- The application window will likely last for three months.
- The evaluation process is expected to last from 8 to 18 months.
